T-72B3 Obr.2016 equipped with Arena-M APS

Image
The T-72B3 underwent many different upgrade programs over the years since its first appearance in 2011. This includes the usage of different engines, a variety of different ERA packages like Relikt and Kontakt-5, utilization of soft bag ERA, slat armour encasing the engine bay, mounting of CITV on a small batch of T-72B3 tanks in 2014 for Tank Biathlon. These upgrades being the most common, overshadow one specific variant of the T-72B3.  T-72B3 equipped with Arena-M (T09-A6). This variant was first shown in 2013 during the RAE expo in Lower Tagil, Russia. While only being a mockup, it gave a good idea of how the vehicle will look, if it ever mounts such a system. Two years later, during the RAE-2015, the vehicle was shown again.   In 2019, an image appeared on the internet, showing a T-72B3 with Arena-M. It is presumed to be the prototype variant that is underground testing.       T-72B3 Obr.2016 with Arena-M being prepared to cross a water  To th...

"AGAVA" - "AGAVA-2" and its confusing history

Image
When covering Soviet sight technology there are always some interesting designs and approaches to solving an issue.

Only in the 1990s, but to be specific in 1992, the Soviet Union now Russia started to field small batches of thermal sights on their tanks, primarily T-80Us and some of the early T-90 variants, which just recently entered service. Russia's journey through creating its own domestic thermal sight traces back to 1982.  The 1980s were quite an important time for the 'Krasnogorsk Factory named after S.A Zverev', which is still to date an Optical Engineering and Optoelectronics factory. The factory is primarily known for making domestic Soviet cameras back in the day. However, that's not the only thing that the factory has produced back then.  Close to the mid-1980s, the facility was contracted to develop new thermal sight technology for the Soviet Ministry...

T-90A - a short history of sights

Image
  In 2004, the T-90A (Object 188A1) tank joined the Russian armed forces. It included many fire control system upgrades, a new welded turret, and improved mobility. The T-90A Obr. 2004 tank was fitted with a T01-K05 Buran-M Obr. 2004 3rd generation night vision sight, which improved over the previous T01-K01 Buran-PA sight from the T-90 Obr. 1992. --Picture of T-90A with Buran-M Obr. 2004-- In 2005, the tank received an upgrade for the sight, which became T01-K05 Buran-M Obr. 2005, with noticeable differences in the sight's housing. --Picture of T-90A with Buran-M Obr. 2005-- --Picture of T-90A diagram with Buran-M Obr. 2005-- --Picture of two T-90As, one with Obr. 2004 and one with Obr. 2005 Buran-M sights-- Above: T-90A with Buran-M Obr. 2004 sight, and behind it, T-90A with Buran-M Obr. 2005 sight. In 2006, the T-90A had to be brought to more modern standards, so the production of this model with new second-generation thermal imaging sight began. The sight was named ESSA, wh...
